Wives and Wantons: Versions of Womanhood in 17th Century Dutch Art

The mixture of ribaldry and paranoia combined in this hoary jest accurately reflects the fluctuating attitudes of seventeenth-century Dutchmen towards their womenfolk. Seeing them, alternately, as succubi or sentinels of domestic virtue, their uncertainties surfaced not only in genre painting but in doggerel farce and the anthologies of misogynist anecdotes that became popular after 1650, as a kind of defensive hilarity. This was not the only possible response. Pieter de Hooch's affectionate studies of mothers and

On the First Buffon Edition ever Published in the Netherlands

One of the more recent acquisitions of the Artis-Bibliotheek is an interesting edition of Buffon’s Histoire Naturelle. It is a copy of the edition by Pieter de Hondt in the Hague in 1750 (GENET-VARCIN et ROGER, 1954, nr. 148; NISSEN, 1966, nr. 677; TUIJN, 1967, Note II, nr. 1). As far as I have been able to ascertain, no copy of this edition has thusfar been in the possession of any dutch public library. Our copy, with book-plates of Grandjean d’Alteville (ROLLAND, 1954, p. 144) and Andre Gaultry, is composed of 3 volumes 4° bound together in leather. In connection with my supposition (l.c.) that no further volumes of this edition would have been published and that Schneider possibly would have taken over, now the opportunity offers itself to compare the de Hondt and Schneider editions and to look for differences between these editions and the original Paris edition, the first three volumes whereof appeared in 1749.

VIII. Further particulars of the fall of the cold Bokkeveld meteorolite. By Thomas Maclear, Esq. F.R.S. &c., in a letter to Sir John F. W. Herschel, Bart. K. H. V. P. R. S. &c. &c. Communicated by Sir John F. W. Herschel

My dear Sir John, As I did not receive any further communication relating to the Bokkeveld Meteor after my last communication to you on the subject, I resolved to undertake the promised journey in conjunction with our friend Watermeyer, to whom we are so much indebted in the inquiry. Accordingly we made up a waggon party, consisting of himself and two of his sons, with Lieut. Jacob of the Indian Survey, Mr. Bailey, Hon. E. I. C. S., and myself, and set out on the 9th instant, taking Worcester and Tulbagh in our way, for the purpose of consulting with Dr. Treuter and the Rev. Mr. Fahn, who had been engaged in collecting information. On the 14th we took horses at Tulbagh, and proceeded to the house of Pieter de Toit in the Bokkeveld, where we slept. The next morning we visited the other people who had witnessed the phenomenon.
